3" downpipe on a 14b turbo?
only way to tell if the throttle shaft seals are good or not is to do a boost leak test after you've installed everything(including the throttle body)
with that said, if you haven't rebuilt that throttle... its about 99.9% a sure thing that those seals are original, and about 100% sure if they are original then they will leak under boost and kill your tune.
ok.. i have all winter to rebuild it if i go that route
and john.. im gonna pick the rear dash and center caps up like next week so just pm me the cost cuz u said 35 then lemme know shipping and ill paypal you
in other news..vr4 strut bar is on and i cant believe the difference.. i was always skeptic of those things but not any more
so i got my new rotors and pads in from R1 concepts yesterday and they are going on tomorrow along with new calipers as well.. pics to follow.. they are only oe blanks nothing too fancy
If you plan to have the TB rebuilt, especially having the throttle plate shaft seals replaced I have a guy that does immaculate job on doing them with TONS of experience. He did my TB on my GVR4 and bored it 64mm at a very reasonable price. PM me here or on GT and I will get you the info.
interested PM sent
so in recent news im doing some minor upgrades to the car and stuff prepping it for later.. i got the rear dash out of Johns old black GS so there is no more cutout for the 3rd brake light and i also got his GS rear calipers and brackets
i also got the rear backing plates already assembled for the disc swap from MKO and all i need are rotors and im getting new pads
thanks again guys
i put in the rear dash today and man you dont think its major but it looks a lot cleaner now without the little cutout
Dash? Douche
i just called it a rear deck lid. LOL and im a nazi?
u wanna refab ur deck lid and get rid of the hole?
should be picking up an Evo 3 O2 housing tomorrow and ordering all new OEM mitsu bolts and gaskets.. i have decided on an SAFC for now. i know its not the greatest, but its easy to tune and wont be too restrictive for now.
also. i am taking the 7 cm housing off my 16G and putting it on the 14b along with the ported 2g mani and evo 3 O2 housing i should be set there
Just a heads up. Evo 3 O2 housing is different. The outlet is 2.5'', the bolts are at 4'' and its kind of tilted a bit. Now all ebay or vendor downpipes are meant for 2g O2 housing which will cause some problems , cuz youre gonna have to bend the flex pipe a lot and still may not be able to make it work w/o putting a lot of stress on the flex pipe. The pther thing is the bolt pattern - 2g downpipe has 3.5'' between the bolt holes. Just my 2cents
today i swapped the 6cm 14b housing out for the 7cm B16g housing. getting the Evo O2 soon
pics foo!!!
i want to see what you did
